I have found that if I wash by hand and dry the floors as I wash them that it improves things - but that is not how I am interested in spending my time. I get the feeling that the Shark will be a step up from mopping, although probably a step down from hand-washing.

I have deep laminate in the kitchen and the Shark just can't get in there and clean well. I wish I had not bought mine. Thinking about returning it. It is not worth what I paid for it.

I would like a new queen sized bed with memory foam pillow top. And satin sheets and matching comforter. It would be awesome to sleep (or whatever ) on a bed like that. Cats would like it too.

I just love spending time with my kids and their families; several little ones which makes it so much fun.

This year I will be giving all the children in my family some heirloom jewelry; something I had planned on leaving them in my will anyway. But why wait; let them enjoy it now. One piece I am very excited to give my granddaughter is an 18k yellow gold amyethist ring with several tiny diamonds. Her mother bought it for me for Mother's Day when she was 16. She saved for months from her first job. I think the girl will love it.

My oldest grandson expressed a wish to have a diamond engagement ring of mine; he said (when he was nine) he would love to give it to his future wife one day. I am going to see if he will have it mounted into a stud for now.

My oldest daughter is getting a strand of very nice pearls that she wore to her first prom with her husband when they were 15 and 16.

My other daughter will get the platinum ring with baguette diamonds (circa 1920) that belonged to my mother and her mother before that. My girl wore this ring as something borrowed for her wedding. Things like this with memories....Crossing fingers they love these!
